The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero Volume 1 Chapter 3

A Goblin colony.

In that place where the castle town of the Demon King’s Castle once existed, the Goblins carried on an unfettered lifestyle.

Crude wooden fences, houses assembled together with randomly picked up tree branches and dry wood.

It was a primitive society where the ones that possessed stronger tree branches were the strong ones and where the Goblin Shamans that did doubtful chants would advise the leader of the colony.

The activities of Goblins that could be found anywhere were certainly there.

The center of such a colony.

With the forest fruits that were today’s results before his eyes, the Chief rebuked the villager’s worthlessness.

Because they did not have the ability to kill even a single beast, the Goblins’ staple food was mainly fruits.

It would be easy to hunt animals if they came up with a bit better choice of weapons, but Goblins didn’t have the intelligence to come up with that.

「Chief, something coming.」

「Is Human?」

「It Human?」

The young Goblins had never seen real Humans.

They had only heard of the 「wicked Human」 called the Hero from the stories passed down in their colony.

However, the same went for the Village Chief.

Because of that, he didn’t possess any confidence when he saw “them” as they approached.

Being a party of two, that group had heights that were about twice their own size.

The man wore extravagant clothes that had black as its basic theme.

He had black hair and red eyes.

As for the woman, she wore durable-looking clothes that had black and white as its basic theme.

She had strong looking armor and shield, as well as a splendid sword.

She also had black hair and red eyes.

Even if he didn’t know whether they were Humans or not, the Village Chief thought that that weapon looked strong.

That there was no mistake that those clothes were also magnificent things.

That surely, they would suit him better.

Thinking such foolish things, the Village Chief envisioned a strong and cool-looking version of himself.

And then, turning towards the Human-like duo that was approaching, the Village Chief raised his voice.

「Humans! Leave belongings!」

When the Village Chief struck the tree branch that he used in place of a staff on the ground to make a clang, the surrounding Goblins took a fighting stance with their own tree branches.

As intimidation, they emitted growls and blood lust.

However, as if completely not giving a damn about that, the woman talked to the man about something, and then approached the Village Chief with a relaxed walk.

They were being looked down on.

When he just barely understood only that, the Village Chief raised his voice to give an order to the Goblins.

「Kill!」

At the moment that he declared that──

The atmosphere went *gishiri* and a warped sound was made.

It was cold.

His back teeth chattered and trembled.

He couldn’t move.

Wrong.

This was fear.

The village head recognized it by instinct.

The red eyed woman that was before his eyes.

That woman’s eyes, sparkled.

Those eyes, were tremendously terrifying.

A fear that felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped.

The source of that fear, didn’t stop walking.

Slowly, she walked up……And looking down on the Village Chief, she opened her mouth.

「Who were you going to kill?」
